(sees the indentation in the case at the left side of the "Halo DS" card)
Wait a minute, does the new R4 slide the card in at the side instead of the top or something?

No, it's just... there.
Nobody really knows why :-/

My R4DS and M3 Simply don't have it, it's the "new" card design. You can see it better at r4ds.com The header images have the original case (like mine) in white, and the product page has the new case like shown in the pic linked above.

its only the "BETA" version. ;)

i made that one on my color laser at home.
i work in a print shop and run a HP digital press and am going to print actual labels and have them die-cut. then that will be ver. 1.0

lambi1982, sounds great. Any plans for selling small quantities when you get them ready? Maybe create a website where people can purchase generic labels that read the latest witty sayings such as "Linux Inside", etc.

I have no problem starting a site for these labels. just need to know what the demand would be for them.

my first thought was to just create a few hundred Halo DS R4 labels, possibly for other carts too.

due to the cost of having them die cut per sheet I would need to know what labels would be popular.

I am also going to make a single 2x2 in die cutter for custom single labels, but havent started that yet.

Lynx the linux inside was a good idea. Looks cool on a DS cart.

Please feel free to drop more ideas.

( Tetris is only there to have a original DS cart to compare to )

I'd like to see a homebrew label. I've been meaning to make one myself but never got around to it.
